Hour Fifteen: Stick to the Plan

What’s your reading strategy for this weekend? Are you reading comics? Novellas? Short books? A series? Or one long doorstopper? I’m personally taking bites out of a few different books I’m in a middle of, plus an audiobook or two. Are you reading on a theme? From a set TBR? Or just whatever strikes your fancy? Need some inspiration? Check out this post I put up earlier this week.

I had three volumes of comics planned for this event, but I wanted to reread previous volumes in two of the series so I ended up reading five volumes at the beginning with one volume to go. I also have a couple shorter reads (Get Your Shit Together and The Vagina Monologues) as well as longer YA reads from the library (Heartless and Three Dark Crowns). If I manage to get through everything I’ll start The Lesser Bohemians for book club. This is my first readathon in a while that has no poetry so something may end up sneaking in at the end. In short, I’m all over the place.

I’m going with a #ReadersResist theme because I’m feeling politically itchy! Excited to learn more and read some nonfiction sprinkled with novels and audiobook! I’m reading in a big circle of books chapter by chapter. :^)

I plan to finish as many of my current reads as I can and start some new books. I’m reading mostly paperbacks and also listening to a couple of audiobooks. Most of my books are fantasy genre, but that is more coincidence than a planned theme.

I finished a book I was in the middle of, and now am reading two chapters from a book I’m having a book club discussion with tomorrow. After those two ill go on to another book I’ve been dying to read! Enjoy, everyone!

I’m also perusing a variety of materials. I’m reading one doorstop (By Gaslight) and several other books, as well as a smattering of literary mags (Kenyon Review) and an audio book while I’m driving and working around the house.

My “theme” I guess would be feminism and fantasy. I got some books from the library that I’ve been wanting to read including Crooked Kingdom, Fate of the Tearling, and Bad Feminist. I’m also hoping to get a start on Heartless and I may pick up my copy of the illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets to read during the commercials of the Packer game!

I’m back from a long run to the stores. 75 mile round trip for groceries. That’s the price for getting to live under wide open everything, I guess. But, yea for audio books! I’m reading/listening to State of Wonder, The Underground Railroad, The Invisible Thread. I think I’m going to look up some feminist essays on the web for tonight’s reading.

I started out reading a short manga series, four volumes, and then a standalone manga. That got me going and was a huge jolt to my confidence! I just finished a bit of a big one (300 pages) which felt like a big accomplishment in one day. Usually I get distracted and can’t finish things. This weekend has been a huge boost to my reading challenge! 😀

I don’t really have a theme going. The manga was urban fantasy, animals, then a Greek fantasy. Next I’m due for a fairy-tale retelling.
